Saya mau tanya sikit boley macha.. Itu Singapore teda aman ka sana?

kalo nak buat perbandingan lebih adil,
kenapa tidak buat perbandingan harga untuk barang yang sama..
unfair juga kalo barang dan berat yang berlainan sebab kalo barang sikit, opkos nampak banyak kan
so, rm50 di malaysia dengan $sg 50
kuasa gambar tu lagi penting ok

Malaysia punya ada logo halal, kan ke hari tu menteri bagitau. Halal semestinya mahal...

... kan dia ada buat perbandingan bergambar tuh kat atas:

- 50 SGD di S'pore - dapat  TAMBAH sekor ayam, seikat sawi, sekampit beras dan sebotol medium minyak masak

- 50 RM di Msia - dapat TAMBAH 5-6 ulas cili merah & sebotol sos cili aje...


maknanya, memang rega barang di Spore lebih murah dari Msia, tu belum banding Gaji minimum S'pore & M;'sia...
